One of the first math units we do is a geometry unit that focuses on basic shapes. Here's a cute activity that you can use after learning about each shape. I collect the student papers and make a class book, but if you did this for all the shapes, the students could have their own shape book at the end. I am going to use die cuts of the shapes (I spent yesterday cutting shapes with my Cricut), but I included a sheets of the shapes in case you need them. We always spend a lot of time brainstorming about some ideas of what the shape could turn into- for triangle, some of our ideas are always a slice of pizza, a birthday hat, a piece of pie etc...

Ashley, I do have them try to write the word, but I will go back through afterwards and write the word underneath as well. I am glad you like it!
